Madness

Madness

A Poem by Aries

Positive, so right, very, very right I am; watching me he is, wrong I am not.
 Why, why oh why oh why was he staring?
 Paranoid, he said I was; annoyed I am.
 My breathing, it slowed, slowed almost to a stop. 
He said it's a mental illness, that the things I see, the things I hear. 
OH! 
The things I hear, I hear so well, but but to dwell on them I do not, remember, repeat, delete. 
Delete from my mind but only for a moment. He said they’re not real, that they are only in my head. 
Mad, I called him! Mad, he called me, mad, mad, mad. 
All in my head? I see them, 
there! 
Reaching for my hand! 
Lead me to heaven I said, take me to hell they did.

Not bad. Had a little Yoda feel to start. Nice description of, well, could be a lot of things... depends on how you look at mental illness. Bipolar mood stuff is my choice today.

Reminds me of a comedian, I forget his name, "...not only are the voices in your head real, they're accurate as well."

Well done.

Always welcome mate.....
Very inward look in finding the line between fact and fiction. Reality and fantasy. I hope all will find their path which can be hidden behind the clouds a mind creates. Well done piece.
